Unraveling the Mystery of Two 1890s Richmond District Houses
Sleuthing in the Digital Age
Unraveling the Mystery of Two 1890s Richmond District Houses The Low family at Sutro Baths with an unusual floatation system for their child, 1890s. -
I always perk up when someone says they have old photos from San Francisco that need location identification. Sometimes I’m lucky and know the site; other times there is too little to go on. A grouping of contemporary photos, like in an album, adds more clues to find locations. I recently was presented with a series of photos in two albums that became one of the more challenging and fun projects I have attempted. This is a detective story of sleuthing collaboration, combining old research skills and new digital technology mixed with a good dose of luck.
